I brought this up before, but with Babcock basically only playing Zaitsev and Hainsey on the PK some type of move here was inevitable. I was hoping it'd be bringing Marincin back up, but here we are. I'd expect Polak to sub in for Carrick pretty quickly to fill that hole on the PK.

I take this as another sign that they want to try to go deep right away. Last night's gong show just earned Roman a cool mil. (And those two horrible giveaways by Borg may be his ticket to Ricoh.) As long as Polak's bottom pairing it isn't a bad move.

I don't really care for this. I get it based on Babcock's PK strategy of only using Zaitsev and Hainsey but I wasn't a huge Polak fan before his injury. Adding a slow defenseman who is only likely to be slower really doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Yeah I mean hasnt the injury hampered his already limited mobility?

Injuries like that rarely increase your mobility.....
